詩篇 53

1 達味訓誨歌，交與樂官，悲調。 愚妄的人心中說：「沒有天主，」他們都喪盡天良，恣意作惡。行善的人實在找不到一個。

To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 天主由高天俯視世人的子孫，察看有無尋覓天主的明智人，

God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 人人都離棄了正道，趨向邪惡，沒有一人行善，實在沒有一個。

Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 那些作姦犯科的人，吞我民如食饅頭；總不呼求天主的人，豈不是愚蠢糊塗？

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

5 在不應驚慌之處，他們反倒驚惶發呆；因為天主分散了那圍攻你者的骨骸，他們必將蒙羞，因天主已把他們捨棄。

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

6 唯願以色列人的救援來自熙雍！天主若將自己的民族命運變更，雅各伯必將喜慶，以色列必將歡騰。

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.
